Make the electrical connections


General precautions
Electrical Hazard: A certified electrician must supervise all electrical work. Comply with all local codes and regulations. Before starting work on the pump, make sure that the pump and the control panel are isolated from the power supply and cannot be energized. This applies to the control circuit as well. Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse. Keep the end of the motor cable above the liquid level. Make sure that all unused conductors are insulated. There is a risk of electrical shock or explosion if the electrical connections are not correctly carried out or if there is fault or damage on the product. CAUTION: If the pump is equipped with automatic level control and/or internal contactor, there is a risk of sudden restart.

Requirements
These general requirements apply for electrical installation: The supply authority must be notified before installing the pump if it will be connected to the public mains. When the pump is connected to the public power supply, it may cause flickering of incandescent lamps when started. The mains voltage and frequency must agree with the specifications on the data plate. If the pump can be connected to different voltages, the connected voltage is specified by a yellow sticker close to the cable entry. The fuses, short-circuit, and circuit breakers must have the proper rating, and the pump overload protection (motor protection breaker) must be connected and set to the rated current according to the data plate and if applicable the cable chart. The starting current in direct-on-line starting can be up to six times higher than the rated current. The fuse rating and the cables must be in accordance with the local rules and regulations. If intermittent operation is prescribed, the pump must be provided with monitoring equipment supporting such operation. The thermal contacts must be in use.

8107.010/.590 Maxi Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

Installation (Continued)

Cables
These are the requirements to follow when you install cables: The cables must be in good condition, not have any sharp bends, and not be pinched. The sheathing must not be damaged and must not have indentations or be embossed (with markings, etc.) at the cable entry. The cable entry seal sleeve and washers must conform to the outside diameter of the cable. The minimum bending radius must not be below the accepted value. If using a cable which has been used before, a short piece must be peeled off when refitting it so that the cable entry seal sleeve does not close around the cable at the same point again. If the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, then replace the cable. Contact a Grindex service shop. The voltage drop in long cables must be taken into account. The drive units rated voltage is the voltage measured at the terminal board in the upper part of the pump.

Earthing (Grounding)
Electrical Hazard: You must earth (ground) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the earth (ground) lead to verify that it is connected correctly. If the motor cable is jerked loose by mistake, the earth (ground) conductor should be the last conductor to come loose from its terminal. Make sure that the earth (ground) conductor is longer than the phase conductors. This applies to both ends of the motor cable. Risk of electrical shock or burn. You must connect an additional earth(ground-) fault protection device to the earthed (grounded) connectors if persons are likely to come into physical contact with the pump or pumped liquids.

Earth (ground) conductor length


The earth (ground) conductor must be 100 mm ( 4.0 in.) longer than the phase conductors in the junction box of the unit.

Product-specific precautions
Short-circuit protection The short-circuit protection should be in accordance with the rated data shown on the data plate. Use time-delay fuses rated 1.5 the rated current for the actual pump. Pumps without built-in motor protection Pumps without built-in motor protection have an additional data plate.

Troubleshooting
Introduction
Follow these guidelines when troubleshooting the pump: Disconnect and lock out the power supply except when conducting checks that require voltage. Make sure that no one is near the pump when the power supply is reconnected. When troubleshooting electrical equipment, use the following: Universal instrument multimeter Test lamp (continuity tester) Wiring diagram

The pump does not start, for pumps with SMART ROTASENSE
Cause The phase sequence may be incorrect. Remedy 1. Pull out the plug. 2. Do one of the following: Shift two phases by turning two contact pins with a screwdriver. NOTICE: Do not take the plug apart.

Figure 4: CEE plug

Turn the knob to the opposite position 1, with 8 seconds delay. NOTICE: Do not reverse the phase sequence while the motor is running. Doing so may cause incorrect rotation resulting in damages to the motor electronics and the rotating parts. Respect the 8 seconds delay.

Figure 5: Phase shifter On/Off switch

If no glove or phase shifter is used, then shift two phase conductors in the cabinet. If the problem persists, contact the local Grindex service shop. Always state the product number and the serial number of your pump when you contact Grindex, see Product Description (page 11).
